...tubes are just noisier than solid state.
My amp is dead quite with Tung-Sol KT120s with my ears "4 inches" from the speaker(s).
Dead quite.
Soundstage vs background noise?
I've been using tube amps for 10 years now. I just recently picked up solid state gear that admittedly is much quieter in background noise.
So now I notice the soundstage is better defined. I wonder if this is related the the virtual lack of noise that, through my prior tubed gear (CJ and Rogue), was common to both channels?
